Gaimari, Stephen D., 2012, A new genus and species of Chamaemyiidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) from South America feeding on Ceroplastes wax scales (Hemiptera: Coccidae), and status of the genus Ortalidina as a chamaemyiid, Zootaxa 3342, pp. 39-50 : 46

Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard.

Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard 1852: 455 . Chile. Santa Rosa. LT 3 ( Fig. 10 ), MNHN, designated herein. Steyskal, 1968: 23 (catalog, as unplaced species, but noting likely synonymy with Acrometopia australis ).

Lectotype designation. Due to the importance of male genitalia in identifying Chamaemyiidae , and the poor condition of one of the two male syntypes, to avoid future confusion and to fix the identity of the type species for this genus, a lectotype is hereby designated. I choose the syntype male (mounted on left side on clear card; fair condition, slightly crushed but with little actual damage or loss of setae, right antennal pedicel and 1st flagellomere missing; pictured in Fig. 10 ) with the following labels as the lectotype for Ortalidina cellularis : “MUSEUM PARIS, CHILI, GAY 15-43” / “15, 43” (handwritten, on small circular label with green underside) / “ cellularis Blanch. ” (handwritten) / “ Syntype 3 Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard ” (handwritten, red label) / “ LECTOTYPUS 3 Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard , des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label). The two paralectotypes bear the same first two labels as the lectotype, but lack the handwritten “ cellularis Blanch. ” label; the male has the following two labels – “ Syntype 3 Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard ” (handwritten, red label) / “ PARALECTOTYPUS 3 Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard , des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label); the female has the following two labels – “ Syntype Ƥ Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard ” (handwritten, red label) / “ PARALECTOTYPUS Ƥ Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard , des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label). The lectotype and paralectotypes are deposited in MNHN.
